It's Full Plate Thursday Where All The Greatest Cooks On The Planet Gather

We are very busy making plans for the memorial day week end as I am sure many of you are, so I am really excited to see and enjoy all the wonderful food that you are sharing today. We are here on the Up Stairs Patio today we can enjoy our time together and watch all the birds when they come to the feeders and the bird bath.

We have been helping to put up flags around our community as a reminder what this holiday is all about.
I want to take a moment to say
"Thank You" to the families who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom,

When
we were young and just
starting out in life sometimes we did not have a
lot of money. Most of our friends were
having to stretch the dollars
at the end of the month just like us. My
girlfriends and I decided that we
would pool our food for some of the
evening meals right before payday...
the last week of the month. I have some
of the fondest memories from those
days. We would all bring our food
together and we had some great food and
great fellowship. We would get the
food on the table and everything ready,
someone would bless the food and
then the hostess would say "come fill your
plate".
I have just a few suggestions before you leave your dish and fill your plate.

Link directly to YOUR RECIPE and not to your web page.

Scroll down to the button that says "click here to enter"

You
will be asked to give your
URL ( which will be your direct link to your
post), the name of your recipe, and
your email which we will not be able to
see.

Then you will be asked to select a thumbnail from your post that will be uploaded to your entry.

Please include a link back to Full Plate Thursday, somewhere on your post. We will give you a gentle reminder if you forget...

Please leave me a comment before you leave the page and let me know that you are here, I want to be a good hostess.

Don't
forget to visit with all
the others, after all that is part of the
fellowship that makes it so much fun,
in addition to all the good food of
course...

Hi Miz Helen! I'm a new GFC follower and new to your party. I added a couple sweet treats to this week's linky. I'm excited to check out your recipes!! I would love it if you would come say hello sometime at http://stellabskitchen.blogspot.com

I’m sharing some yummy Sprouted Flour Crepes w/ Strawberry Rhubarb Compote, an article on 5 Fool Proof Ways To Fall Off The Whole Food Bandwagon, and a video on How to Make Maple Balsamic Reduction. This stuff is amazing on pretty much everything.

Thanks so much for giving me a Red Plate Miz Helen! I am so honored and truly love reading through the other links. I always find something interesting, something I didn't know, or something that I have to try immediately. Thanks for hosting such a fun linky.

What a lovely Memorial Day Tribute, Miz Helen! We owe so much gratitude to military families. This week I have shared a delicious Banana Date Cake with Walnut and Honey Glaze. Thank you so much for hosting.

Thank you so much for featuring my Coffee Ice Cream Miz Helen! I think it was accidentally submitted again today as I was trying to check a glitch on my end...sorry about that! Have a fabulous long weekend!

So this week Haydn and I blog a recipe from another blog or cookbook - I chose to do that but not. Instead I asked "where does inspiration come from?".... a few hours later I had to then reflect, "where did all the rum go?"... oops! Summer-ish Strawberry Mojitos baby!

Hello Miz Helen! Busy weekends have kept me from the blogosphere on Thursdays & Fridays the last few weeks and I've sure missed your wonderful party, so I've got three recipes to link up this week! Thanks so much for hosting! Hope you and yours are well and that you have a wonderful and blessed weekend! ~Mary

Thank you for hosting. I posted a hummmus sandwich using my garden greens and canned strawberry lemonade and strawberry limeade from our strawberry picking this past weekend. Please stop on by and link up to my linking party Local Wednesday. http://www.creatingnirvanatoday.blogspot.com/2012/05/hummus-sandwich-and-local-wednesday.html Or come by and "like" my new facebook page https://www.facebook.com/CreatingNirvana

Hello Miz Helen! Thank you for featuring my Handmade Vanilla Cappuccino! I didn't get a new post out this week but I'm looking forward to linking up next week on Full Plate Thursdays. :) Have a blessed Memorial Day weekend!

Hello Miz Helen...I think this is the first time I've been here and I'm just charmed by your blog. It is delightful. And I love how you have put your Linky party together. Those menu items above that you've chosen sound mighty good and I sure want to try them all...but then I think my waistline would just get bigger than it is...smile. I am following you now so will be seeing you often. And I'm so looking forward to that! Do try the Party Potato chips...they are to die for I promise. You won't be able to eat just one.

Most Warmly,

PS When we were first married and still in college and having babies a couple of the other poor married gals and I would do the same thing. Sometimes we would just trade ingredients. I so well remember those days. So much fun and so many wonderful memories....and good recipes that came out of that.

PSS We lived in Austin for nearly 22 years and raised our kids there. And our son and his family still lives in McKinney. We get back down that way once or twice a year. We still consider ourselves Texans. We loved it there!!!

Oh my gosh, I can't believe I almost missed this. Thanks for hosting Helen! I've been experimenting with radish tops and I'm sharing two soups that I put together this past week. Have a great weekend! Finn says "Woof!"
